    About this ebook

    Mystic weaver, radical reformer, loved and hated equally in his time . . . the simple wisdom of Kabir's pithy couplets, makes him one of the most frequently quoted poets even today. Yet Kabir the person remains an enigma. This brilliant novel traces one day in Kabir's life, from Daybreak through Midday to Nightfall. Threading fact, legend and poetry into a superbly structured narrative, it etches Kabir's compelling persona against the backdrop of fifteenth century Banaras — a period that mirrors quite remarkably our own troubled times.
